Egyptian Cats (37 images)

Cats were considered sacred in ancient Egyptian society, a symbol of grace and poise. The cat goddess Bastet was the deity representing protection, fertility, and motherhood. As a revered animal some cats received the same ritual mummification after death as pharaohs and queens – so of course someone just added the appropriate cats at the Egyptian Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. Hollywood is a dark and mysterious place, and it's not just the cats. ~ Monday, August 27, 2018
